Relax turbo.

I was spinning bearing when it was n/a with the zex cam and springs revving to 8k.
They werent busting for no reason.

And I BOUGHT an INTERCOOLER.

But got scammed on ebay and never got it.

Hi buddy,
I dont want to harp on you, just give you a friendly tip,
so hopefully you wont blow ANOTHER motor.

with uberdata, hondata, AFChack,
any fuel setup like that,
they all share one common trait.

You CANNOT ADD FUEL with them!
you can only subtract from whatever injectors you have.
The way people get more fuel getting in there, is with much much larger injectors.
Really, running 450cc's on a sohc turbo 10psi and below is overkill, BUT everyone turns them down around 40% from what they naturally do.

SO with that said, no matter what map you run with uberdata,
if you have stock injectors installed, you will have either stock N/A fuel pumping out of them, or less than that!

which is most most most most most likely why your motors blew.

Even if a block cost you $15 and had 150k on it,
it could still definetely handle 7psi for alot longer than 2weeks.

the only things I know of that actually add fuel,
are FPR's and FMU's. you can intercool your setup, but if you run the same fuel, it'll blow. might last a few days longer with the IC though

Good luck with your next setup!

1 motor blew POSSIBLY because of a lack of fuel.

All the other motors didnt require anything larger than 240cc inj's.

If ITR's make 160 whp on 240's
Im fine in a D series with a few mods.

And thanks for the tip, I bought 450's a few days ago.

remember n/a cars also have a lower brake specific fuel consumption than turbo cars.

Good point.

But I was only referring to my previous non turbo setups.

Good way to look at it though.

i'd be willing ot bet that your last motor would have lasted a little bit longer than it did if you were to have tuned it...

even thought it's all shitty and such...it still would have lasted a bit longer im sure.

Joe knows WHAT TO DO....

he just DOESNT DO IT.

how many years has it been

im just glad you blew it this time with a a forced induction setup.

Just keep having fun.

on a side note about the a6's.. they are strong.. but will have higher miliage. thus, there strengths will be in how they were driven and worn in over the years. Joe, ask Buzz about this.

mine has 240k, runs strong as ----. would I turbo or (in my case supercharge) it? NOT in a million YEARS!

then again i dont like to blow up things....
